When I saw Lucille’s Squiggle Frame I knew straight away what I was going to do to ‘dress’ it.
I love the stones you find on various beaches that are dark grey with white lines running through them. So as a raku ceramicist I have replicated these stones together with driftwood collected from my local beach here in Hillhead.
Further Raku can be seen on Ollie’s website here

My main aim is to encourage people to go out into the countryside or woods and find treasures to make up their own art works using the squiggle frames. Here are a few pictures customers have sent in:-
Beachcombing
You asked me to send a pic of our decorated Squiggle Frame – here it is: everything we used was salvaged from West Wittering beach on a very stormy day, with the exception of the blue felt brooch which was found in the mud on The Heath in Petersfield. Beach items include mangled sun glasses, a bit of pink rubber sole from a trainer, a bottle top, an ice cream plastic spoon as well as shells, seaweed etc My 5 year old son really enjoyed trying to find shells with holes in, quite a task! I couldn’t source a drill so it was all done without tools, just our hands!
FYI the pink bit of rubber sole is near the bottom to the right hidden behind other stuff and the mangled sunglasses is at the bottom of the ring, sans lens!
We really enjoyed adorning your squiggle, thank you!
